Ingredients

1/4 lb bacon chopped
1 cup onion chopped
2 (15oz cans) baked beans
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tbsp mustard

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Leave about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the pan; discard the rest.
Add the diced onion to the skillet with the reserved grease. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent.
Lower the heat and stir in the canned baked beans, brown sugar, ketchup, and mustard. Add the cooked bacon back into the pan and stir everything together until fully combined.
Let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are hot and the flavors have melded together.
Remove from heat and serve warm. These are great on their own or as a side to just about any BBQ spread.
